In Elite Dangerous I was one of the first to map the outer arms of the Galaxy, all detailed here

I set many records (which have all been broken by now) and mapped out propulsion of different space craft to figure out a formula for max efficiency landing on high G planets. Get it wrong and ship perma death, buy a new one. Nerve wrecking to trust your high school algebra scribbles :)

It was a great community (likely still is) and we had lots of fun on the first Distant worlds expedition, setting more records along the way. Yet eventually jumping around a procedurally generated milky way got boring and my ship is still somewhere lost in space.



My next big journey was in FS2020 all detailed here

I visited every country on Earth during the pandemic, exploring the entire world. Also there I became part of the community, hunting down bugs, mapping engine performance, pushing planes to the limits and beyond. 

Yet also there, content is finite and bugs apparently last forever. FS2020 also heated my gaming laptop up so much that I'm now using an external keyboard and one USB port broke. Many keys don't work anymore, membrane probably melted. Sometimes I would burn my fingers on the numeric keys :/ I was planning on upgrading to explore Canada in more detail after that got an update. However the bugs are still there, the update was one of the worst not even improving much of the terrain at all. So not any time soon.



In the meantime I have and still am playing GT Sport daily. I can hang with the fast aliens but mostly popularized 'racing from the back'. Not qualifying and seeing how far you can get, which has led to many last to first victories. Basically the way GT treats single player.
I spend tons of time on mapping out cars fuel efficiency and the mysterious workings of the penalty system. As well as making compilations of races, especially of my favorite track, Nurburgring 24H circuit and the Nordschleife.

My insane stats for GT Sport with over 15 thousand online races

My GT7 stats are not that impressive yet, same as the game. I'm still far more invested in GT Sport and just drive one race a day in GT7 to keep my credits going up. One day PD will settle on physics handling and fix the bugs :/

Oh and I was quite a known figure on GT Planet until I had a falling out with the mods and left. I don't agree with their ToS. So I joined our crew (TPC) on Discord where we can chat and exchange lists of trouble makers without mods interfering.
